★★★★★ 5.0 Cynthia Soria · Jan 2026

I have a mixed daughter and finding a good hair provider has always been hard. I was skeptical to give them a try because of the bad review they have here on Google but honestly these women are wonderful. They took 5 hours to do my daughters Shmedium knotless braids, which I thought was fast. My daughter loved her hair and I loved the ambiance. Everyone was friendly, everyone was respectful and everyone in there is talented. Give them a try, Im sure you will love them too. I'm sure my daughter will be back 🤝🏽🫶🏽

literally had an emergency where I needed to get my hair done within like the same day bracket they were able to get me in their chair in less than an hour. All of them are super kind and super sweet as well as I had multiple people working on my hair so I was able to get out early as as well as since I started my appointment very very late. I still was able to leave out at a decent time. I do have shortage in my hair as far as the front part, and they were able to still take care of it as well. I still make me feel comfortable, which I really really respect them so if anyone is looking for a really good braider as well as a braid that will listen to your request

So this is my first time coming here. I came all the way from Wisconsin, and I was kind of nervous just because I’ve always gotten braids and never really was satisfied with them especially because I was getting bora bora braids. I was really nervous, some people say they do them and just don’t know how to actually do them the right way. Blessing, the owner of the shop truly did every single thing the right way. From parting to the braid pattern all the way down to adding the hair in my head she did everything perfect!! I don’t think I’ve ever loved any hairstyle so much as much as I do with this one. Also, This hairstyle was very affordable. There is a lot more places that charge much more. She truly put time and effort into my hair!!! She went above and beyond on my hair and she was so k

TLDR: UNSANITARY, WASTE OF MONEY, PAINFUL The first time I got my hair braided here, the braider did not make my boho curls match color wise (ex. The framing of the face should match, theres no reason my boho hairs were two different colors on the front) & the boho curls were uneven, it looked like I had a big afro and then smaller. I ALSO asked her to use more boho curls of a different color (since i brought 2) and she completely did not do that. However, she did an excellent job parting and sizing my braids so it lasted 3 months with not much breakage, so even tho the style was ugly, the parts were very good. And it didnt hurt This time around, I am absolutely DISGUSTED by how my braids turned out 1) the middle part is extremely crooked, I thought it was doable but it is actuallly hide

They made my experience so incredible. They work so fast, and the knotless braids I got were so nice and exactly what I wanted. I will be back here again!
